Bradley's white hair made him easily noticeable in the crowd. When Esther caught his gaze, his cold eyes hinted at a mysterious darkness within.
"Bradley, where will you both live after marrying Mandy?" Liora asked.
Sitting beside Bradley, Mandy heard her mother's question. "We'll live in Capitus, Mom," she replied.
Esther felt like a lifeless puppet, guided to the round table by Chadwick.
From the moment she arrived, all eyes fixated on her. Their looks were filled with unspoken curiosity, as if everyone sought to understand the kind of person Esther truly was.
"Ms. Pascal, I agree with Mandy," Bradley chimed in.
Mandy shot a thankful glance at Bradley and whispered, "Thanks, Brad."
Esther couldn't help but gaze at Bradley's captivating face across the table. She watched him care for Mandy with great attention, even charming her mother into smiles and laughter.
For a brief moment, she wanted to escape. She clenched her fingers tightly to control her emotions, sitting there while suppressing the growing ache in her heart.
"Esther, we decided our wedding would coincide with Mandy's in the makeup room," Chadwick mentioned.
Esther's vision blurred. She lifted her head slightly, determined not to reveal her heartbreak to those around her.
"I'll go along with it," she quietly agreed.
